before.

INDIAN INFANT MARRIAGE.
A Bombay Court Reluctantly Compelled to
Enforce a Cruel Law.

A Bombay Court Reluctantly Compelled to
Enforce Cruel Law.
Calcutta Letter in London Times.
The case of Rukmibhai. the native lady whose
wrongs aroused so general feeling of sympathy
in England and India, is probably fresh in the
memory of your readers, but the case now
appears to be on the point of reaching crisis, it
may be we'll to recapituiate the facts briefly.
Rukmibhai was married according to Hindoo
usage. at the age of eleven, to a youth some
years her senior. She remained at her parents
house. was carefully educated, and grew up, &C
cording TO all accounts, into refined and
highly cultivated lady. Some eighteen months
ago she published in the Times of
India. under the nom de plume of "a Hindoo
Lady series of forcible and striking letters
the rniseries entaled on her in India by
the bapbarous customs of infant marriage and
enforced widowhood. Last year her husband
tried 80 get her to live with him, and her
refusioG instituted a suit for the restitution of
coniugsi rights in the Bombay High Court.
The tried in the first instance by Mr..
Justice Pinhey, when, il having been proved that
the husband was too poor to support her, was
utterly ignorant and uneducated-in fact, a
mere cooiie-and was, moreover, consumptive,
the Judge expressed the opinion that it would
be a barbarous, cruel and revolving thing to
compel her to live with such a man. He further
held that such suit could not lie under Hindoo
law and dismissed it.
The husband appealed. and the case was ar
gued before the Chief Justice and Mr.. Justice
Bayley. those learned Judges, wnlie expressing
their entire sympathy with Rukmibhai. felt
compelled to rule that Mr. Justice Pinhey was
wrong in law. and remanded the to the
lower court for trial its merits. 1t has now
been reheard before Mr. Justice Farran. Ruk-
mibhai's counsel could only repeat that his eli
ent had never consented to the marriage, and
never regarded the man as her husband that
the husband was poor. ignorant and unhealthy,
and that If ordered TO return 70 him she
would be forced to disobey, and was prepared
to take the consequences. The court had no op-
tion save to pass an order that she should JOIN
her husband within month. Should she fail
to do so she would be- liable to six months i'm
urisonment The case has excited much sympa-
thy among the Anglo-Indian community. The
English newspapers are publishing articles and
letters on the subject and steps being taken
in Bombay 10 raise fund on her behalf.
Among the native community. however, hardly
single voice, except that of Mr.. Malabari. a
Parsee gentleman, has been raised in her favor
and the so-caled reformers who agitate loudly
for representative institutions, ETC.. say nc
word for the alteration of the cruel law which
the Bombay court has been reluctantly com.
PEELED to enforce.
